"Elvis: His Best Friend Remembers"  Merchandise to mark the 25th anniversary of the King's death.

Joe Esposito, an Army buddy who became one of Elvis Presley's handlers, shares cheery reminiscences, interspersed with photos, home movies and interviews with Elvis.

The DVD is for fans who want to recall Elvis warmly; the closest Esposito comes to dishing dirt is mentioning that toward the end, Elvis was a "little overweight" and a bit sad about his future.

Bonus segments include a priceless glimpse of a woman claiming that spiritual energy has glazed her glass door in the shape of Elvis; actually, it just looks like a blotch in need of a gallon of Windex.

Yves Montand leads an exceptional cast in a thriller based on the true story of the assassination of a Greek doctor in the early 1960s.

The disc offers audio commentary by Costa-Gavras and a restoration demo.

"Time After Time"  In this fanciful sci-fi thriller, H.G. Wells (Malcolm McDowell) builds a time machine, chases Jack the Ripper (David Warner) into 20th century San Fran-cisco and finds himself a modern girlfriend (Mary Steenbur-gen).

The DVD has audio commentary with McDowell and Meyer.

"The Business of Strangers"  Excellent performances highlight this worthy little drama that stars Stockard Channing as a corporate executive involved in an evening of head games with a seemingly unstable assistant (Julia Stiles) during an overnight business trip.

"Pinero"  Benjamin Bratt delivers an earnest performance in this superficial but down-and-dirty biopic of playwright Miguel Pinero ("Short Eyes"), who died young after a life of crime and drugs.

The DVD includes a featurette on the real Pinero.

"Robin and Marian"  Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn are fun to watch as the aging thief of Sherwood Forest and his former lady love, reunited many years on after Robin returns from the Crusades.

Robert Shaw, Richard Harris and Nicol Williamson co-star.

"Dragonfly"  Kevin Costner is a doctor mourning his dead wife and experiencing supernatural portents that suggest she might still be alive.

Meantime, the audience is mourning its movie choice.

This weepy melodrama is rental material at best for all but diehard Costner fans. The packaging promises "thrilling deleted scenes," but they must have been misplaced at the DVD factory because the 12 minutes of extra footage is chaff, much of it lame dream and delusion sequences.

The disc includes an odd interview with author Betty Eadie on her near-death experience (she eventually works her way around to giving an endorsement for the movie). Director Tom Shadyac provides audio commentary.

"Crossroads"  At last, a movie that knows what it's all about  baring Britney Spears' midriff  and aims for that end at every opportunity.

Spears stars as a high school valedictorian on a road trip with two old chums and a mysterious hunk, finding romance and a possible recording career along the way.

For fans, the DVD is an all-Britney, all-the-time storehouse of bonus material. Viewers can watch the movie with a feature that pulls up brief video comments from Spears, and the disc has two Spears music videos. There's a handful of deleted scenes introduced by director Tamra Davis.

"Our Man Flint," "In Like Flint," "Fathom" and "Modesty Blaise"  Thirty years before Austin Powers, movie screens were awash in swinging spies with a tongue-in-cheek approach to espionage.

James Coburn headlines this batch of DVD releases from the '60s vaults, parodying James Bond as super-suave Derek Flint, who battles a sexpot bent on destroying the planet and he fights a secret society of wealthy babes who want to rule the world.

Raquel Welch stars as a skydiving agent searching for a defector in "Fathom," lesser-known than the "Flint" movies but equally entertaining.
